On show downstairs in the historic old church at One Marylebone was the results of a special Pringle Archive Project 1815-2011 between the legendary Scottish knitwear brand, and the fashion students of Central Saint Martins.

Meanwhile, on the catwalk upstairs, creative director Clare Waight Keller blended traditional knitwear techniques with creative technology in a collection as covetable as it was chic, perfectly suited to the 'Pringle muse', Tilda Swinton, who joined American Vogue's Hamish Bowles in the front row.

A former senior designer at Ralph Lauren and Gucci, Waight Keller brings a wealth of tailoring experience to her work at Pringle, and a passionate desire to push the Pringle name into the forefront of de luxe fashion. Intricate fair isle cashmere jacquard was used for stunning, fringe-edge, long, wrap skirts, dresses and cloaks, in a tan or burgundy mix. Coats came in stripes of rabbit fur and chocolate fairisle. Cashmere sweaters and capes, featured oversized fox hoods, or else were intarsia knitted with mink inserts. Cashmere ponchos, in the jacquard fair isle, or else an elaborate cable-knit, were mixed with slim trousers and skirts in an exclusive Pringle tweed. Laser-cut leather, in burgundy and black, created a slim shift dress. The accessories echoed the eclectic mix and included rabbit fur knee-boots and tweed court shoes.
